We ran into this problem when one of our developers wrote an application on Linux that did a "ps" and looked for a string, when the process in question was in an extremely long path and was run with the full path name. When he ported it to Solaris, it wouldn't work, even with /usr/ucb/ps, because of the cutoff. I suggested we install GNU ps, but nobody in management wanted to hear that.
